* The Board of Directors' proposal to the Annual General Meeting
Jukka Ruusunen, President & CEO of Fingrid says about the interim report:"Finland imported affordable power from the west - transmission connections
have seen a high degree of utilisation"
Affordable electricity has been available in the Nordic countries and
significantly more of it was transmitted to Finland this year than last year.
Power transmission connections between Finland and Sweden have functioned well,
and Fingrid was able to make the full transmission capacity available to the
markets for almost the entire time. The transmission capacity however was not
sufficient to meet market needs in all situations, and for this reason the
regional price in Finland has been higher than the Swedish regional price. The
power transmission connections also functioned excellently during winter peak
consumption, when Finland was heavily reliant on imported electricity.
Fingrid's grid profits were 124 million euros as a result of an eight per cent
rise in tariffs carried out at the start of the year and an increase in grid
connection profits. Electricity consumption in Finland decreased by 3.3 per
cent when compared to the corresponding period in 2013. Correspondingly, during
the review period, Fingrid transmitted slightly more electricity than it did
during the same period in the previous year. The import of electricity from
Russia to Finland decreased significantly compared to last year, which can be
seen in as a three million euro decrease in cross-border transmission income.
On the other hand, congestion income relating to Finland's and Sweden's
regional price differences increased to 15 million euros while they were one
million euros during the corresponding period last year.
FINGRID GROUP'S INTERIM REPORT JAN-MAR/2014
Calculation principles
Fingrid's interim report has been drawn up in accordance with standard IAS 34,
Interim Financial Reporting. In this interim report, Fingrid has followed the
same principles as in the annual financial statements for 2013, with the
exception of hedge accounting for electricity derivatives, which was stopped at
the start of 2014. As a result of this, the entire change in the fair value of
the derivatives in question was recorded and will continue to be recorded in
the income statement. The hedge fund in the balance sheet will be dismantled in
equal instalments during 2015 and 2016 so that result is decreased by 11.6
million euros
Financial result
The Group's turnover during the review period grew to 191 (171) million euros,
and other operating income was 1 (1) million euros.
Grid profits were 124 (116) million euros. The profits grew as a result of an
eight per cent rise in tariffs carried out at the start of the year and an
increase in grid connection profits. Electricity consumption in Finland
decreased by 3.3 per cent when compared to the corresponding period in 2013.
Correspondingly, during the review period, Fingrid transmitted slightly more
electricity than it did during the same period in the previous year: 18.2
(17.6) terawatt hours. The sale of imbalance power remained on the same level
as last year at 41 (40) million euros. Congestion income between Finland and
Sweden increased drastically and reached 15 (1) million euros. The rise in
congestion income between Finland and Sweden was a result of the market
situation and an increase in regional price differences. Cross-border
transmission income between Finland and Russia fell to 2 (5) million euros as a
result of a reduction in Russian imports. Congestion income between Finland and
Estonia, as well as European inter-TSO compensation income decreased from the
level in the corresponding period of last year.
Imbalance power costs fell and were 27 (32) million euros. Loss energy costs
grew by three million euros due to an increase in the price of loss energy. At
the end of the period under review, approximately 98 per cent of Fingrid's
projected loss energy procurement for the remaining part of 2014 had been
hedged at an average price of 44.1 euros per megawatt hour. Depreciation costs
increased by three million euros as significant new capital investment projects
were completed. The costs of reserves to ensure grid operational reliability
grew slightly and were 13 (12) million euros. Personnel-, maintenance
management- and inter-TSO compensation costs remained more or less at the level
of the previous year.

*Fingrid's income from the congestion income between Finland and Estonia was
0.4 million euros. There were no costs (Finland-Estonia grid rental) during the
period under review, since the EstLink connection has been under Fingrid's
ownership since 30.12.2013. Before the transferral of ownership, congestion
income profits between Finland and Estonia were paid as grid rental to the
owners of the connection.
**The peak load capacity income and costs are related to the securing of the
sufficiency of electricity during peak consumption hours within the framework
of the Finnish Peak Load Capacity Act.
The operating profit of the Group was 79 (79) million euros, including -8 (11)
million euros) of changes in the fair value of commodity derivatives. The
profit before taxes was 78 (73) million euros. Profit for the period under
review was 62 (55) million euros and the comprehensive income was 62 (50)
million euros. The cash flow from the Group's operations with capital
expenditure deducted was 73 (38) million euros. The equity ratio was 32.0
(29.3) per cent at the end of the review period.
The Group's profit for the financial period is characterised by seasonal
fluctuations, which is why the profit for the entire year cannot be directly
estimated on the basis of profit from this six-month period.
Investments and maintenance
The EstLink 2 high-voltage direct current connection between Estonia and
Finland has been available for market use since the start of December 2013. The
connection was handed over to owners in February 2014 and has significantly
increased power transmission between the countries. EstLink 2 was officially
inaugurated on 6 March 2014 in ceremonies taking place simultaneously in Püssi,
Estonia and in Porvoo, Finland. The connection tripled the transmission
capacity between Finland and Estonia and removed one of the worst transmission
bottlenecks in the Baltic Sea region. The major project kept to its schedule
and budget, despite being challenging.
The construction of wind power has made significant progress in Northern
Ostrobothnia. At the turn of the year, Fingrid made new investment decisions
relating to Siikajoki, Raasakka, Keminmaa, Taivalkoski and Ossauskoski. A new
110 kilovolt substation will be built in Siikajoki in order to allow the
connection of wind power in the area to the grid. In addition, power lines will
also be renewed in Raasakka, and the Isohaara-Taivalkoski 110 kilovolt cable
will be run to Keminmaa. Basic renovations will be carried out on the
Taivalkoski and Ossauskoski substations. These investments are valued at
approximately 15 million euros in total.
Several challenges are under way for Fingrid on the western coast. The greatest
challenge is the Ulvila-Kristinestad connection, which includes two power line
projects and two substation projects. The component projects are under way and
progressing according to plan. The entire connection is due for completion in
early autumn 2014.
Work on the Hikiä-Forssa power line project began in spring. A mild winter has
posed challenges to foundation work, but nevertheless, work has progressed
according to schedule. In accordance with Fingrid's updated occupational safety
requirements, a separate safety supervisor financed by Fingrid was appointed
for the project.
In Eastern Finland, the Varkaus-Kontiolahti power line project has progressed
as planned. The project saw the erection of Fingrid's first 110 kilovolt field
tower between Varkaus-Hovinpaikka. The tower is the same design as the 400
kilovolt field tower which won the Fennia Design Prize. All in all, a total of
25 towers will be erected in the project. Field towers are mostly used to
replace towers which are erected in fields using stay cables. The use of the
newer towers frees up field space for agriculture.
Power system
From the start of the year until the end of March, Finland consumed 23.8 (24.6)
terawatt hours of electricity. During the same period, 18.2 (17.6) TWh of
electricity was transmitted in Fingrid's grid, representing 76 (72) per cent of
the electricity consumption in Finland.
Domestic electricity production capacity and import were sufficient to cover
the winter peak consumption. According to Fingrid's operation control
measurements, electricity consumption during winter 2014 was 14,288 megawatts
at its greatest. The highest electricity production volume in Finland in the
early part of 2013 was approx. 12,100 megawatts, and power plants worked
without significant disturbance during the period of cold weather. It was not
necessary to take into use any of the nation-wide peak load capacity of 365
megawatts.
Large amounts of electricity were transmitted from Sweden to Finland as a
result of the market situation. During the period under review, production
capacity was generally completely available for use. The most significant
restriction on capacity took place during disruption to the Fenno-Skan 2
connection which occurred on 20 March 2014. The connection was out of service
for just under 24 hours. Between January and March, 5.1 (2.3) TWh of
electricity were imported from Sweden to Finland, and 0.0 TWh (0.3 TWh) were
exported from Finland to Sweden.
There were no significant electricity transmission restrictions in the
transmission capacity on the Russian or Estonian borders between January and
March. The new EstLink 2 connection to Estonia has been available to the
markets for use for almost the entire time. Exports to Estonia via EstLink 1
and 2 were plentiful, but turned into import during Finland's peak consumption
hours. A technical test on the bidirectional transmission of electricity was
carried out on the Russian connection on 12 March 2014.
The amount of imports from Russia has fluctuated due to the market situation
and according to the time of day. 0.9 (1.8) TWh was imported to Finland from
Russia, with 0.01 (0.2) TWh imported from Estonia. Exports to Estonia totalled
1.3 (0.3) TWh.
The most significant disruption during the period under review occurred on 24
March 2014 along the Hikiä-Forssa 110 kilovolt line. A fallen tree on the line
caused an electricity outage lasting a few hours and affecting 24,000
customers. At the time of the event, there was an exceptional connection
situation due to ongoing maintenance work, which meant that both the duration
and extent of the disruption were larger than normal. In the Hyvinkää region, a
400 kilovolt tower fell over on 25 March 2014 during replacement work. The
disruption did not cause any breaks in service or personal injuries. On 20
March 2014 due to the disruption in the Fenno-Skan connection, replacement
power of a value just under two million euros was procured by starting up
reserve power plants, and by purchasing electricity from domestic suppliers and
from Russia.
In order to restore the deteriorated frequency quality, Nordic grid companies
have started the test use of a new reserve type, the automatic frequency
control reserve. A maximum of 300 megawatts of reserve is maintained for
selected hours, of which Fingrid's share is a maximum of 69 megawatts.

Electricity market
Price coupling was introduced on the day-ahead markets, or spot markets, of
north-western Europe (NWE) in February. The procedure means calculating the
price for electricity in the entire area for each hour of the next day
simultaneously, taking into account all purchase and sales offers and transfer
capacities. The arrangement covers the Nordic countries, Baltic region,
Germany, France, Benelux countries and Great Britain. The electricity exchanges
and main grid companies in the area have been preparing the price coupling
since 2010. It is to be expanded to other European countries in the next few
years.
During the first quarter of the year, the average price (system price) of the
Nord Pool spot markets was 30 (42) euros per megawatt hour and the Finnish
regional price was 35 (42) euros per megawatt hour.
During the first quarter of 2013, Fingrid used 2.9 (0.1) million euros for
counter trade.

Financial Result.
Financing
The financial position of the Group continued to be satisfactory. The net
financial costs of the Group were 9 (7) million euros during the review period.
Net financing costs without changes in the fair value of derivatives were 12
(5) million euros. Financial assets recognised at fair value in the income
statement, and cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 230 million (EUR 225
million) on 31 March 2014. In addition, the company has an undrawn revolving
credit facility of 250 (250) million euros.
Interest-bearing borrowings totalled 1,233 (1,218) million euros, of which 973
(1,056) million euros were long-term and 260 (161) million euros were
short-term.
The counterparty risk involved in the derivative contracts relating to
financing was 39 million euros (80 million euros).
Personnel
The total personnel of the Fingrid Group averaged 287 (268) during the review
period.
Auditing
The consolidated figures in this Interim Report are unaudited.
Events after the review period and estimate on the development for the rest of
the year
Fingrid Group's profit for the financial year 2014 before taxes and without the
change in the fair value of derivatives is expected to increase from the
previous year. The uncertainty involved in reserve costs, congestion income and
in cross-border income on the interconnections from Russia makes it difficult
to anticipate Fingrid's financial result for the entire year.

Fair value measurement of assets and liabilities are categorised in a
three-level hierarchy in the fair value presentation. The appropriate hierarchy
is based on the input data of the instrument. The level is determined on the
basis of the lowest level of input for the instrument
in its entirety that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Level 1: inputs are publicly quoted in active markets.
Level 2: inputs are not publicly quoted and are observable market parameters
either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: inputs are unobservable market parameters.
